Private/Closed Bootleg Bros. Ultimate - The Muspell Campaign

Bennett


Looking at the violet noodles he made...it appeared unappetizing. For some reason, it bubbled an unsettling way despite a lack of water, had a sort of purple miasma about it, the bones inside of it not helping the appetizing look. It had the resting smell of burnt rubber, dish looked inedible, if one could call it a dish.

Bennett was none the wiser however, looking over to to the Taiyaki that was made by Akira. It was rare for him to have food prepared by others, so storing his dish for later in a small bowl in his backpack, he jumped at the opportunity to treat himself.

"Oh! Thank you!"

Quickly taking his portion up, he took a bite, savoring the flavor. Having eaten nothing but eggs and the occasional fruit he found on the side of the road, he was taking in the flavor. His eyes were closed in bliss as he held his cheek with his open hand.

"Man, this is great! Are you a professional cook??"

Nikki Prez
What the hell had become of her noodles!? Those were limited-edition! Super hard to get! She’d literally had to be on the set of one of the movies to acquire those! …Okay, well, chances were they were probably just regular instant noodles fancily repackaged, but still! Nikki stared in momentary horror at how Bennett had prepared them. How had he acquired such… texture? Consistency? BONES!??

But, she was nothing if not open minded- she would try any food at least one time, and this was no exception. Slowly, she took a pair of wooden chopsticks from her bag, breaking them apart and diving into the bowl. She pulled out a long bite of noodles from the peculiar ‘broth,’ placing them in her mouth and slurping- refusing to break eye contact with Bennett the entire time, her gaze wide and unblinking, because frankly, he needed to be held responsible for creating such a thing.

She chewed the noodles, and…

“How did… you get them so… crunchy, while they’re also… disintegrating into the… s-sludge…” she attempted to describe the dish, but there were too many flavors and textures going on, quite literally none of them good. It was the worst of both worlds- it tasted terrible, and it was also super unhealthy. She swallowed, shivering harder than the cold had ever made her shiver during her time here- before immediately eating an entire one of Akira’s taiyaki in one bite. After swallowing that, she seemed to stabilize.

“Wow, thanks for cooking, guys! Let’s round this meal out with some meat, shall we?” she said, deciding it was best to move on from her feelings toward the noodles. She relocated as many of the fish as she could to the fire, about ten before she ran out of room- spearing through their scaly bodies with sticks, before planting those sticks into the ground so they could hover over the heat. With Gazpacho now accompanying her, she kept having to manually divert his beak as he hovered over her shoulder to 'inspect' the fish.

Shovel Knight

The group had taken another break, taking the chance for the rest and a meal. Things soon got lively again, yet the blue burrower seemed to have gone quiet, staring at the fire somberly. Only when Akira raised his bowl of Tayaki did Shovel Knight raise his head.
"Taiyaki? I've never heard of it before." Shovel Knight said, picking up one them and admiring it's fishy design. Though now he really could go for some actual fish...
Fortunately, Nikki and Anakin returned from their trip to the stream, carrying a big supply of wriggling fishes.
"Incredible. I couldn't dream of fishing up that much!" the knight said in astonishment. Without wasting time, the knight speared his own fish on the Propeller Dagger (because what's the point of magic artifacts if you can't abuse them a little). As he held it over the fire, the knight tried Akira's taiyaki, the baked good vanishing within the darkness inside his helmet.
